Sweet, Juicy Apples from Your Own Patio Sweet, crisp apples with a honeyed flavour Heavy and reliable cropper Fruit stores well after harvesting Attractive golden-green apples Compact patio tree for smaller gardens There’s a reason ‘Golden Delicious’ has become one of the world’s best-known apples. A heavy and regular cropper, it produces good-sized fruits that ripen from greenish-yellow to an attractive golden colour, developing their characteristic honeyed sweetness as they mature. Give the fruits plenty of time on the tree and that flavour really comes into its own. Harvest them for eating through autumn, use them in everything from salads to crumbles and bakes, or set aside the best of the crop for later – ‘Golden Delicious’ has excellent keeping qualities and can be enjoyed well into winter. Reliable, productive and well worth growing at home, this compact patio form lets you enjoy a much-loved apple without needing room for a full-sized orchard tree. Grow it in a sunny spot and you can look forward to your own golden harvest year after year.
